Treasures galore!!

I hit the best garage sale today!!! Plus I went to a pretty great estate sale last night. Look at this great table of loot! I love those sales that just make you lose track of time and how much you are spending. I got a lot of great pieces to use in my assemblage stuff. I cleaned the studio yesterday and just kept thinking I have too much and then I go and buy more?? It's a sickness but a good one.

Hats hats hats.

So when Molly was sick I went on a hat making spree so I decided to list one on etsy. This is my beautiful model Nadia and she is wearing one of my free form crocheted hats that would be cool without the felt pin but you get that too! It is only $18. Pretty much all of my hats are $15-$20. It's cold outside you might as well look good keeping warm.

I also have a fun creepy window display with a bunch of heads with different hats so check that out if you are in the area. I got a bunch of scary heads at an estate sale a few weeks ago and just love them. They remind me of masks that bank robbers might wear.

Nadia here in the picture has been with me for about 7 years now. I got her back in Baraboo from St Vinnies and payed a whopping $30 for her. She was one of the very few items that moved with us when we moved back to Manitowoc. She is just a head and torso no arms. Molly sometimes talks to her and I think that is really cute.

Estate Sale Nirvana.

Oh what fun I had last night at an estate sale. I spent a lot of my hard earned cash at this one and may even go back to spend a little more. It was so fun. It has been a little while since I have gone to one. I got so much cool stuff. The lady was very stylish and had such cool vintage clothes. If only I was a size 10! I did get a couple of the skirts because I could not resist a pelican decorated wrap skirt! I did pick up 6 aprons and 4 vintage purses that are just awesome! My favorite find is probably the silly Christmas package decorations seen in the picture! I just love these little treasures and scoop them up whenever I find them and found a box of about 45 of them there!!!! Instant happy. Some of the other stuff... a set of 12 hand painted glasses, biology textbooks, 6 really cool dishtowels, a aluminum cocktail shaker, some covered enamel containers and a box of assorted tatted laces (perfect for my new pendants). I keep thinking about an old doctor cabinet that was there and think I may go back for it! All this stuff will be out after Krazy Daze tomorrow! I am having 40% off all vintage so it will make room for this cool stuff! I of course have all kinds of stuff to do to get ready for tomorrow but here I am blogging! Better go......
